CATCHING GOLD.

We are still greatly at sea as regards
the way common colds are induced, says
Family Doctor" in the Practical FARM
er. They are caused, 1 believe, in a
great many more ways than we have any
idea of. The words, Catching a chill"
are to me entirely devoid of meaning. If
by cold we mean a congested state OF
the mucous membranes that line the pas
sages through which we breathe, with
discharges of water therefrom, pain in
eyes and nose, tickling in the throat, ten
derness and rawness of the chest, with
secondary symptoms in the shape of gen.
eral feeling of dullness of mind and
body, and aching of limbs, then I say
these symptoms may be produced in
many ways. Direct cold poured upon
the head or face, as in driving against the
wind, may produce them, so may the
breathing of damp, cold air, or even of
fumes from some melting substances,
ETC., that involve irritating gases. Here
you have your cold produced in a me-
cbanical way. A cold may be taken
through the feet or through the body, If
either be insuficiently clad or wet; but
this is not caused by the cold striking up
through or in through either, but by
causing depression of the nervous sys-
tenn, and consequent congestion of the
air. passages, in those subject to such a
complaint. But cold may also be brought
about by Indigestion or arrangement Of
the liver, or temporary weakness of the
heart from any cause. Aud as for treat
ment, it seems to me that the less heroic
it is the better. Extra warmth, rest of the
whole system, the miidest of aperients
and abstinence in diet will be found, as
rule, effectual and safe.

THE GOOD OLDTIMES.

We often hear of "the good old days of
yore" Why deprive our children of the
enjoyment of those old days? Why not
pass a law forbidding the steamboats,
from ploughing the waters; railroads
from running on land; telegraphs from
sending messages; telephones from being
used; all furnaces, steam heaters, etc. to
be taken out of the houses and other
buildings; all CRATES for burning coal to
be taken out; all stoves to be melted for
old iron; all water-works in cities to be
left empty; the use of all gas and illum-
nators, except dipped tallow candles to
be disused-and really go back to the good
old times" say for five years. Then, at mid
night on cold, stormy night, doctor is
wanted, he must be sent for instead of tel
ephoning for him. If one wished to send
message to distance, instead Of tele-
graphing he must send it by stages to it's
distant place, and wait patiently for days
or weeks, for an answer. When one goes
home on freezing night he can sit by
a wood fire, roasting on one side while
freezing on the other, and reading by
the dim light of tallow dip, instead of the
blaze of a gaslight or more agreeable light
OF Kerosene. If he undertakes journey,
instead of getting into the cars and going
where he wishes, the best he can do is to
take stage at four times the cost and ten
| times the discomfort of the cars. Lat
these and other modern improvements
be forbidden and ''good old days" be
brought bach, Ihow long would it be before
an extra session of the Legislature would
be demanded to knock the "good old
days" into splinters, and to restore the
much better modern days which we now
enjoy and for which we ought to be most
devoutly Thankful? -Bridgep Sentinel.

Honor and wealth of days were the
deserved lot of Mrs. Abby Kelly Fos-
ter and Henry Brewster Stanton, whose
deaths are recorded at the ripe ages of
seventy-six and eighty-two. Their lives
cover the Informative period of Ameri-
can history. Both of them were parts
Of all that moved men toward the great
event of the emancipatory war. Mrs.
Foster, at that time Miss Kelly, made
her first anti-slavery speech on the oc-
casion of the dedication of Pennsylva-
mia Hall, Philadelphia, as "Pity's
Home" "the audience chamber of the
slave" in May, 1888. Outside the mob
howled furiously, the windows were
broken by its missiles, and inside its
emissaries made hideous confusion.
Miss Kelly said that "neither the mad
dening voices nor the crashing win
dows" moved or restrained her speech,
that she heard distant call to testify
on behalf of the oppressed, and from
that moment she testified in season and
out of season until the verdict of arms
was given for freedom. Henry B. STAN
ton delivered three thousand anti-sla-
very addresses in five years, one hun
bred and fifty of which were interrupted
or broken up by mob violence. Now
that these are dead few survive of that
noble band who bore witness for truth
when truth was neighbor to social, and
often bodily martyrdom-Inter- Ocean.

Professor Max Muller's profound
detection, occasioned by the death OF
his daughter, is causing serious anxiety
to the friends whose intimacy gives them
a close insight into his exceptionally
emotional nature. He has a strange
longing to abandon all the pursuits
which have hitherto engrossed him, and
to bury himself in obscurity in that
dreariest of all German towns, Dessau,
which is his native place.

Atlanta, Ca, Votes Against Prohi-
bjtion.

After the most heated contest on record
in the State OF Georgia. Atlanta voted
against prohibition. The fight has been
q peculiarly bitter one. For over month
the citizens have Eeen engaged in the con-
test. Meetings have been held almost every
night. and local speakers and foreign
statesmen have stumped the county from
almost every curb stone in the city and
every crossroad in the county.
Almost every minister in the city
preached prohibition from his pulpit Sum
day after Sunday. Both sides had full
campaign funds and managed their re.
spective causes for all they were worth.
The negro vote was the bone OF contention
and was the balance Of power. Each side
made the most strenuous endeavors to se
cure it in any way possible. The negroes
were considerably divided on the subject,
though q majority OF them voted with the
anti Pr ohibitions.
The Antis carried every city precinct,
and all but one OF those in the country.
In the last election two years q so the Pro
hibitionists carried the county by 500, and
the antis the city by 800, leaving 200 ma
jority for the Prohibitionists. This was
reversed by the antis carrying the county
by 800 and the city by 500.
